Palatine Retires Rand Road TIF, Freeing Up $5 Million for Schools, Village

Arlington Toyota — Reported Business Tied To Corridor Redevelopment. Palatine council members voted to dissolve the Rand Road Corridor Tax Increment Financing District, a move that will redirect more than $5 million in property taxes to the levies of local taxing bodies once the district winds down at the end of 2026. The district helped reshape a stretch of Rand Road into a retail corridor anchored by Walmart, Target and Arlington Toyota, and its retirement closes out more than two decades of village-led redevelopment along that strip.

Michael Reese Site Developers Make $10 Billion Pitch For Bears Stadium

The Sun-Times reports that developers have made a $10 billion (with a B!) pitch with a plan to make the former Michael Reese Hospital site the next home of the Bears. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard the former Michael Reese Hospital site floated as an option. Back in 2024, it joined a long list of options that have been presented to the team in its search for a future home. The Bears have since dismissed it as an option, citing safety concerns about it being built over an active rail line and the lot size being too small for what the team was hoping to build. Still, there are folks who want to take one last stab at it. And frankly, I admire their gumption. More from the Sun-Times story , which includes an anecdote about a sweetener that Capri Investment Group could toss in that certainly grabbed my attention: To further lure the Bears, Capri and its investment partners said they were willing to purchase the team’s Arlington Heights property it’s “the key impediment to the team staying Downtown and fairly considering Bronzeville,” Primo said. “There should be absolutely no reasons why the Bears and the NFL

This Unassuming Illinois Spot Piles Pizzas High With Toppings And Serves Wings Worth Licking Your Fingers For

The place doesn’t stop at wings, either. Homemade tavern-style thin crust pizza comes out of the same kitchen, along with garlic buffalo wings that seem to have their own fan club.
